Liberal managers then made tremendous effort.
They wanted to put themselves Ill position to say
that the country had revoted against the policy OF
the Government. and that this Parliament, with
its uubrokcn Ministerial majority of ono hundred.

rate hut had as the French say exhausted its man

And the Tories had no Lord Wolverton to sup

1t is no light tribute to this keen partisan and
dangerous adversary that he was liked and re-

1t Does Not Apply.

A contemporary is satisfied that no sensi.
bic person can expect the real estate owner
to give up any part of his property to pub.
lie use without compensation but though
such expectation would not be sensible, the
statement has no applicability whatever to
the case of the Peoples bank to which it is
applied.
East King street has had its building
lines Strengthened and the avenue slightly
widened, by general consent after long
consideration, and the result has been laid
down in the map Of the city, and all prop
erty owners are expected by the law to
conform to it in their building if they do
not their property may hereafter be torn
down without emitting them to recover
damages.
The Peoples bank directors in building
outside the established line os East King
street, give up all claim to damage, not
only for the ground that may hereafter he
taken from them, but for the building as
well.
Again; the damage that they will suffer
| now by their surrender of foot or two off
the front Of their lot, is offset by the ad
vantage to them of wider street. The
value Of the ground taken from them is
almost nothing, as they have no use for the
whole depth Of their lot.
The claim made for damages is subter
fuge. AL the damage they will suffer is
from the receding of their building be.
hind the line of the adjacent buildings; and
this is damage which the city has right
to impose upon them in pursuit of its policy
of gradual widening of the street as new
buildings are erected. 1t is done by Phla.
delphia in widening Chestnut street, where
property is of many fold more value than
on our East King street.

THE DAILY ARGUS.
JOHN W. POTTER.
FRIDAY, JANUARY Z. 1887.
AT a recent banquet in St. Louis Sen

Al recent banquet in ST. Louis Sem
ator Evarts remarked that the last and
greatest danger to American Institutions
is q condition of things wherein citizen
by the laws and constitution of The coun-
try should be prevented from voting. or
told that his vote, when received, should
not be counted. This is all very well.
but in view of certain facts this utter
auce would have came with better grace
from other lips than those OF Senator
Evarts. One of the facts is that ten
years ago. when the presidency Of the
United States depended upon the result
in Louisiana, the votes of $4,000 cit
liens were thrown out by the returning
board Another fact is that Senator
Evarts himself delivered long argument
before the electoral commission in favor
of thus depriving these $4,000 citizens
of Louisiana of their rights and through
them the rights of the people of the en-
tire United States, Another fact is that
Senator Evarts received for his argument
in this case the largest fee ever given an
attorney, to wit, the secre taryship of
state. 1t would be lust as well if Sen
ator Evarts would iu the future hold his
peace about depriving citizens of their
vote

that he could have recovered, and tina. ia

an iron WI, he would surely have pulled

GOVERNOR oeLesBYs MESSAGE.
The Labor Question and State Revenue
Reform Considered at Length,

The Labor Question and State Revenue
Reform Considered at Length.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan 7-Governor
Oglesby's biennial message was presented
and read in both branches of the legislature
Thursday. He dwells at great length on the
labor question, ad defends his own course
N the matter OF calling out the militia during
riotous strikes: On this subject the governor
says:
The less people rely upon arms and militia
to preserve order and execute the law, the
longer we may hope our institutions will
stand. The many signs Of willingness Of q
large portion Of our people, especially of in
corporated wealth, to impatiently demand
the use of the militia in all cases Of threat
ened or real violence, without an effort to
secure the protection of the law through the
civil forms of procedure provided by law, is
an unpleasant augury, and one to be con-
stantly watched by the ardent friends of
constitutional liberty. And the fact that
such incorporated wealth can command O
part of the press of the country to malign,
misrepresent and aim to intimidate any who
feel it solemn duty to execute the law by
observing law, is potent indication OF COM
ing evil
He then proceeds to consider the labor
question generally and intimates his belief
that with all the discussion Of the rights and
condition of labor very little progress has
been made in the solution Of the problem
He proceeds as follows:
Many Of the e1travagant ideas held upon
these questions, expressed in equally e1trav'
agant language and argument, nave led I'M
thinking men into the belief that one of the
proper modes to be adopted to right sup.
posed wrongs was to inaugurate methods OF
fhsif evnt e reirssa them, and thus aloN
